[quote name='Les' timestamp='1496580340' post='3312407'] Those of you playing stadiums 30 feet from the audience with a ring of steel around you won't know what I'm on about but you weekend warriors in pubs certainly will. What do you do ? We had a bloke wanting to talk to me last night, between songs he was aking if we did any Garth Brookes, told him we didn't but he wouldn't let it go, then want's to know why ? We're reasonably slick with our programmng, patter, cues to start etc and it's quite a smooth show but this caused a slight hiccup and had me having to ask what the next song was before we set off in our usual slick style. No real damage but we skipped a beat and it certainly didn't entertain anyone in the audience. I have no idea why people would want to do this but they do and have done it would seem since the dawn of time. It prompted a bit of a band discussion and we decide there and then that it's now band policy to look the miscreant in the eye, shake your head in a negative and then turn away from them and ignore their attempts at nattering. How do you guys deal with this ? Les [/quote] Is there anyone here playing stadium size gigs? Not as a support band.

Like the PJ...

All very creative, but would you run the washing machine via di straight into PA or would you mic it up. What strap would you wear and do you prefer it pure white or relic? Just askin...

Voted! Must join in next month!

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1496248593' post='3309936'] The criteria for attribution of your vote are entirely up to you. There is no 'Skol Force' about to swoop down on those deigning to ignore the suggestions, despite all his bravado and bluster. Do as you think best, decide how you wish, invoke the hidden Punk in you, and be satisfied that you've made at least someone happier. 'Does it fit the picture..?' was the original notion, but we've come a long way down the anarchy trail since then ([i]sic [/i]Lenny. and a few other rebels..). Feel free, old chum; feel free... [/quote] Ha ha. Don't worry my friend. It'll be a fair vote 😉

I'm really struggling to vote. Every song has something unique about them. Would it be fair to say I'll give my vote to the three that received lesser votes?

I'd love one. Would suit my composing needs.When you get one let us know how yoi get on.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1496166484' post='3309299'] At least you were able to correct yourself. Unlike Van Halen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mjx_GjyXCs4 [/quote] It's like cat mating season..

Cheers boys and girls

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1495828244' post='3306965'] Top of my list would probably be one of the new Fender Rumbles. They are cheap, loud and very light. I'm sure you could get a 500 watt one for £350 secondhand. I played through the 100 watt version and it kept up with a drumkit pretty well. I'm sure there are many satisfied Rumble owners on Basschat, who will agree. [/quote] I agree. I tested my 100w Rumble at home on half volume and it was far too loud for my hearing. I don't gig so can't comment whether it would keep up with rest of band.

Based in Kent.I got back into bass playing 6 years ago after a 17 year break. I like classic metal and rock music favourite being Iron Maiden. Grew up listening to other bands such as Metallica, Anthrax , Nirvana ,AC DC and some 80' rock and pop. List is not exhaustive though. Also like Foo Fighters, Rancid, RATM but sometimes listen to Police, Queen and other big names. I play finger style but opened to play with a pick if need be. I don't slap but can a few riffs. I record, mix and master my own songs therefore I play guitar too. Own my own equipment and transport. My bass cab is only 100w but if things turn out to be feasible I am capable of getting gigging bass gear. My only downside is that I work shifts so get 2 weekends off back to back every 4th week. Lastly I'm in my early 40s and not bad looking 😁 Looking forward to hearing from anyone who's interested. My you tube link https://youtu.be/aS5zCMrmBIY I've got my own material and wouldn't want to be stuck playing covers only.

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1496060068' post='3308437'] Yes! Tate! Exactly what I was thinking!! Bang on Are you planning to expand on the theme? Add more sections etc? [/quote] The nuclear explosion and post apocalyptic effects were purely for the challenge aspect.I'd leave the accoustic intro and add a riff or two, depending on the lyrics (unwrittem). I just have this idea of forming my own band and gig. It's a hard business to be in.

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1496059575' post='3308426'] I'd put it in the 'Power Rock' category rather than metal. There's some rock influences in there for sure. Early Def Leppard, a bit of Harris-esque bass and atmosphere from Malmsteen. I can just hear some high pitched soaring vocals in there and you'll be set. [/quote] I'm thinking Geoff Tate and Mike Patton. I know Def Leppard but don't lusten to them. Thank you for your opinion really appreciate it. Hoping to get more views on the song.

https://soundcloud.com/user-527099495/inverse-evolution-master-bcjazz I composed this song for April composition challange but can't decide what metal category it suits? Any metal enthusiastic could shed their opinions on this? Thanks

[quote name='bazztard' timestamp='1495984468' post='3307911'] good luck I thank the universe that I played in bands, otherwise my life would have been for nothing [/quote] I sense a tiny bit of sarcasm there☺

A like minded guitar player replied that's all. Off to see Maiden 😆

Already had a reply

Hiwatt bass amp?
